About 99% sure it will work.

The better half and myself think we have a plan of action kinda.

We are both on disability so stable income is taken care of.

After all bills are taken care of (car payment, health ins, vehicle ins, meds, phones, internet and food. We will have about $400 left over for fuel a month. We want to travel and see the country. Time is not an issue but we want to try and boondock as much as possible and take advantage of the BLM land for the 21 days a month.

We have led interior lights, 200 watts of solar, an extra 35 gallon H2O bladder for the truck bed.

Our home state would be Oregon, the question I am asking is where should we go first?

Looking foward to your ideas and replies..
  • How about back to the drawing board? I hesitate to discourage you, but $400 per month for fuel will not take you very far! I go through that in two days on the road and your vehicle is not going to use any less fuel than mine does! Be prepared for very short and infrequent trips.
  • WOW $400.00 per month for gas???? That really isn't very much - do you plan on staying in one place for long periods of time?

    When we travel to PA on vacation we spend at least $500.00 in diesel (traveling with the TH & side trips) - and we are only gone 10 days - and we don't do too many distance side trips!

    What will happen if you need to find a campground - does that come out of your $400.00?

    Heck if you can budget that, please go for it BUT crunch your numbers so you don't come up short!

    Good luck and enjoy!
